Property Income Fund Continuous Disclosure Notice – 30 September 2012

The Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) requires

responsible entities of unlisted property schemes in which retail

investors invest to provide a statement addressing six benchmarks

and eight disclosure principles. These benchmarks and disclosure

principles are contained in ASIC Regulatory Guide 46: Unlisted

Property development

We believe the Fund can enhance its existing properties and add

further value to investors through selective exposure to property

development. In managing the Fund’s property portfolio, we may

refurbish or redevelop properties from time to time as required.

Material property developments will only be undertaken where

substantial pre-commitments to lease are in place and

development risk is appropriately mitigated.

There are no development projects in the Fund as at the date of

this document.

Valuation Policy

Benchmark 4 – Valuation policy

The Responsible Entity maintains and complies with a written

valuation policy that requires:

� a valuer to:

� be registered or licensed in the relevant state, territory or overseas

jurisdiction in which the property is located (where a registration

or licensing regime exists), or otherwise be a member of an

appropriate professional body in that jurisdiction; and

� be independent.

� procedures to be followed for dealing with any conflicts of interest

� rotation and diversity of valuers

� valuations to be obtained in accordance with a set timetable; and

� for each property, an independent valuation to be obtained:

� before the property is purchased:

− for a development property, on an ‘as is’ and ‘as if complete’

basis; and

− for all other property, on an ‘as is’ basis; and

� within two months after the directors form a view that there is a

likelihood that there has been a material change in the value of

the property.

AUPL meets this benchmark and complies with its Valuation

Policy. For further information or to obtain a copy of the policy

please contact us.

Regular valuation of underlying property assets is an important

aspect of managing the Fund in the best interests of investors.

In addition to the above requirements, AUPL’s Valuation Policy

also requires that:

� independent external valuations for new properties must be

complete no more than three months prior to exchange of

contracts

� independent external valuations for existing properties must

generally be conducted at least once in a financial year

� where there are multiple properties in a portfolio, the valuations

are to be staggered through the year; and

� where a property has been contracted for sale, the contracted

sale price may be adopted instead of the independent external

valuation.

Additionally, as part of our active management approach, we may

test asset values on market. At times, we may enter arrangements

at arm’s length with third parties which may impact the value of

assets within the portfolio including, but not limited to, put and

call options in respect of all or part of an asset within the portfolio.

If the value of an asset is impacted in this way, the value may

replace the last independent valuation obtained.

Related party transactions

Benchmark 5 and Disclosure Principle 5 – Related party

transactions

The Responsible Entity maintains and complies with a written policy

on related party transactions, including the assessment and approval

processes for such transactions and arrangements to manage

conflicts of interest.

AUPL meets this benchmark and complies with a Related Party

Policy.

Related party transactions carry a risk that they could be assessed

and reviewed less rigorously than transactions with other parties.

Australian Unity has policies and guidelines in place to manage

the risk of any actual or perceived conflict of interest as a result of

a related party transaction. Related party transactions with

Australian Unity Group entities are reviewed, approved and

monitored by senior management with clearly identified

governance policies and guidelines. Decisions in relation to

conflicts of interest and related party transactions are

documented.

As appropriate, we provide ongoing updates of material service

engagements and financial benefits that are paid to related

parties through the Fund Update and Continuous Disclosure

Notice. The value of related party payments are reported yearly as

part of the Fund’s Annual Report.

For further information about the Related Party Policy please

contact us. The latest Fund Update, Continuous Disclosure Notice,

and Annual Report can be found on our website

australianunityinvestments.com.au/pif. Alternatively we can send

you a free copy if you call us on 13 29 39.

provided by AUPM.

Other related party service providers

Investments

AUL and its subsidiaries (related parties) may invest in the Fund

and the Fund may invest in related parties from time to time.

Details of related party investments are be included in the Fund’s

Annual Report. Investor approval is not required as the

transactions are made on commercial terms and conditions and

on an arm’s length basis.

As at 30 September 2012 related parties held interests in the Fund

of $91.46 million (74.39%) based on net assets.

Distribution practices

Benchmark 6 and Disclosure Principle 6 – Distribution practices

The Scheme will only pay distributions from its cash from operations

(excluding borrowings) available for distribution.

The Fund does not meet this benchmark.

Generally, the Fund aims and currently sources distributions from

cash from operations however it is permitted to fund distribution

payments from other sources, such as capital, if we consider it to

be in the interests of our investors (for example if rental income is

suddenly reduced unexpectedly) and where payment from that

source is expected to be sustainable given the circumstances.

The Distribution Policy is aligned to the ongoing earning capacity

of the Fund. We expect the current level of distributions to be

sustainable over the next 12 months. Where the Fund makes

distributions from capital, this will have the effect of reducing

investor equity.

Where this occurs and the Fund has borrowings, the reduction in

investors equity will have the effect of increasing the gearing ratio

and gearing related risks. Where a Fund is close to its gearing related

covenants, the risk of breaching these covenants is increased.

Withdrawal rights

Disclosure Principle 7 – Withdrawal rights

Withdrawals from the Fund are available daily. We normally

endeavour to meet a withdrawal request within five days,

however the Fund’s Constitution permits up to 180 days for

withdrawals to be met. Payment of withdrawals could be

extended further if fund assets could not be sold within this time.

Further information about the Fund’s withdrawal arrangements is

contained in the Fund’s current PDS, which can be found on our

website australianunityinvestments.com.au.
